Abstract
This article examines the language situation and the implementation of multilingualism in the urban environment of Uzbekistan. The study analyzes the use of Uzbek, Russian, and English in public communication and urban spaces, focusing on their functional and sociolinguistic roles. The findings demonstrate that multilingualism in Uzbekistan reflects language policy, globalization, and the interaction of cultural and social identities in modern cities.
